Code of Amor 💘<p>Mum used my preferred pronouns (when talking to my dad!) the other night, for the first time (it's been years). At first I was confused because it's they/ them pronouns, and she had just deadnamed me prior and I had corrected her (I'm she/they). And there's no way my dad understood it either. He struggles with my gender identity more than my mum I would say, but thinks a LOT less (about it and me in general at all). I'm the vantablack sheep of the family with whom no one can relate (nor tries to - except mum occasionally), for many more reasons than I can state. It would be easier if fate hadn't struck me down with no better recovery options than family, but for now, this is where I am broken down and stranded, trying to carve out some semblance of daily existence. <br><a href="https://social.codeofamor.net/tags/ramble" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ramble</span></a><br><a href="https://social.codeofamor.net/tags/genderidentity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>genderidentity</span></a><br><a href="https://social.codeofamor.net/tags/tangent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>tangent</span></a><br><a href="https://social.codeofamor.net/tags/pronouns" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pronouns</span></a></p>
